Here we go again...

NOTIFICATION - Margin Increase on Silver Derivatives
In light of recent unprecedented volatility in silver markets, the exchanges that offer trading in silver derivative contracts are increasing the margin requirements on these products. In an effort to adequately address the inherent risk resulting from this volatility, IB is increasing margin requirements on silver derivative contracts to a level exceeding that which the exchanges are implementing.
Please monitor and manage your risk accordingly.

So far, margin increase is having no effect whatsoever.
Huge volume coming into PAAS, so the shorts are running for the hills.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Margin hikes in Silver is a one trick pony and everyone has seen it. Anyone trading in Silver sense May know they are coming and have prepared for them. They are prepared for 100% margins because they will demand delivery so they can get 60% premiums to not take the delivery they demand. This game is over.
LOL. They already raised margins for volatility at this price level.
LOL...attention IB...is your back office short Silver paper? Do your "Shorts" look brown. You will need to go long toilet paper and plungers. Ha Ha...we will eat you alive my friends...
And why would this be newsworthy? Commodity margins have been increased and decreased a gazillion of times over the last 40 years of eletronic commodity trading history. Business as usual.
Perhaps because the silver margins get hiked not only when the metal is hitting new highs, but then several more times to make sure it understands the beatdown lesson being administered. Hiking margins on volitility is fine, but be consistant, not pick on one poor mans gold and beat it senseless to administer a lesson. Only thugs and mafia/triad does that.
If this is a repeat, sorry...the ISP over here sucks.
Attention IB: Is your back office short silver so you need to cheat a little and take advantage of your clients? Are you in trouble...LOL! Maybe those who have accounts at IB should dump them. By the way IB, are your shorts brown? Maybe you all need to go long toilet paper...LOL. From what I see here, I smell blood and we'll eat you alive...ha ha and ha^10!!!
ha ha and ha10!!!
Just like the QE, The effort(printing) required for the same effect increases exponentially with each additional round. So too with each additional margin hike. Their effect will decline. More physical buying by more individuals globally will push price higher regardless of how many margin hikes placed. Eco. 101.
Supply/Demand will rule.

IMO this relates to "derivatives" not futures. Derivatives would be say, delta hedges or other synthetics which reference futures and cash price.
Meh and MNNM (makes no never mind) since physical is where its at anyway.

I'm waiting for the not too distant future date when they raise margins and the market just sluft's it off, because that date is coming.
that date is coming.
I think it is here.
"Please monitor and manage your risk accordingly."
Physical delivery bitchez! Oh and in an unrelated matter, Hildenbrand has just shit his pants again.
RAT BASTARDS!
So here is the deal:
Step 1: Sell Silver to anybody who buys on Comex
Step 2: Outlaw all new silver buying positions because they are a common effort by some bloggers to corner the silver market which is illegal
Only selling is allowed
Step 3: $$$ Billions -> bitches
It has been done before. Ask the Hunt bros.

Edit - I was just joking, Please stop selling silver futures now.
"Free markets?"
Not here.
The Fed is pouring Trillions into Financial Stocks while doing their BesT Efforts at thwarting ANY other stock from progressing while holding savings interest rates at ZIRP level crushing Savers and Seniors.
What an odd strategy.
These fools are so short-sighted it's unbelievable! They can only see 10 feet in front of themselves. They should LOVE the actual "non-volatility" that we have experienced. Shaking out the weaker players and driving the price lower simply brings the now millions of physical buyers into the market - folks that won't be "shaken out" or cash in their chips, at least not for the foreseeable future. And the big boys are starting to jump in on the dips too. These moves make physical even harder to come by in the long run...ensuring that the parabolic move is even stronger. Gotta run, gotta stop by an ATM for some linen paper to turn into real money!
Price manipulation downward in PMs is a very strange business indeed. Letting the market decide the prices for ANYTHING these days just seems out of the question.
I'll just keep buying physical silver every month, and at bonus time buy gold. If the prices are lower because JPM and the Fed think it's better for them, I guess I'll just have to keep paying lower prices. I just don't get it.
US finacial system is a FRAUD!
They just don't get it, well I say bring it on.
I personally enjoy buying silver at a discount.
At some point there is going to be huge squeeze and price will have to go much higher to get some silver flowing back out of safe hands.
yo folks.. please help me with this..4/5 months ago a Bulgarian gas fitter inspected our system and advised me to watch russia today for an alternative slant on the news..
I really enjoyed Keiser Reports got into his website and hence into zero hedge now i have slowly built a nest of silver ounces which i am very proud off and went for it cause the logic and fundamental seemed very good and zero have predicted amazing things better than MSM anyday.. So ye i am 100% convinced.. however my nagging doubt revolves around the possibility the scientists will do as they did with diamonds and produce them industrially in a cost effective way. My nightmare is reading that revelation on zero hedge that the gold and silver lifeboats have sunk..
i hope you folks can put my mind at rest and my potatoes are doing great.. thanks y' all
Does anyone here think that silver will be dropping $4-5 real soon? I'm up about $100 on a little SLV call option out to October and I'm thinking about selling it. I already own physical and this is sort of play money, 'though wouldn't mind growing it.
In otherwords, we can't handle the price going up so we have to manipulate the market. Whenever the price tanks, we do nothing.
Maybe it's time for the great patriotic copper recycling drive.
